SQL Development is now Database DevOps

NineData renamed SQL Development to Database DevOps on March 27. The new name better reflects the product scope: database design, development, testing, change governance, release workflows, data security, and team collaboration.

What Changed​

Only the feature name changed. Existing usage, capabilities, and workflows are not affected. In the NineData console, SQL Development is shown as Database DevOps.

Why The Name Changed​

The original SQL Development module started as an SQL Console and IDE experience. Over time, the product expanded to cover more of the database lifecycle:

  • SQL Console and visual database development.
  • Table structure design and release workflows.
  • SQL review, development standards, and approval processes.
  • OnlineDDL and OnlineDML for safer production changes.
  • Data tracking, data archiving, slow query analysis, SQL audit, and DSQL cross-database queries.
  • Sensitive data protection, audit logs, SSO, data watermarking, and organization-level controls.

Editions​

Database DevOps is available in Personal, Professional, and Enterprise editions.

Database DevOps editions

  • Professional Edition: Adds collaboration and advanced DevOps capabilities such as SQL standards, approval processes, user and role management, permission control, OnlineDML, data tracking, data archiving, slow SQL analysis, SQL audit, and DSQL.
  • Personal Edition: Provides core database management features for individual users, including AI services, SQL Console, visual table design, and data import and export.

Result​

Users can continue using the same workflows. The new Database DevOps name provides a clearer description of the module's broader role in database development, governance, and release management.
